Tree spirits are monsters found in the Enchanted Valley, only accessible via fairy ring code BKQ. When attempting to cut down a tree with an axe, a tree spirit will spawn, yelling and attacking the player. The tree spirit's combat level varies depending on that of the player's, with a minimum of 14, and a maximum of level 159.
Tree spirits give reduced experience, and as such are mainly a source of early game resources. They may commonly be killed by low-levelled Ironmen as a method of obtaining the rune axe, which drops more often than other sources. They are also a good source of Nature Runes, dropping 5.578 nature runes on average per kill.
Magic is effective against tree spirits due to their low Magic level, and they have a significant weakness to fire spells at all levels. They can also be easily safespotted by using plants close by the trees, although they will despawn if the player stays more than 3 tiles away.
Unlike the tree spirit fought in the Lost City quest, these tree spirits are not undead, and are unaffected by Crumble Undead or the effects of the salve amulet and its variants.
